Laffoy inquiry yet to respond to proposals

THE Laffoy Commission has declined to respond so far to the Government’s proposals to restart its inquiry into child abuse.

Laffoy inquiry yet to respond to proposals

Work is continuing at the commission’s confidential committee, but the investigative committee remains suspended following the Government’s announcement of a review of its remit last week.

The commission and its outgoing chairperson, Justice Mary Laffoy, who also resigned over the review, was expected to respond to Minister for Education Noel Dempsey’s plans to revamp the inquiry. However, the commission has yet to make any official comment on the Government initiative and, according to a spokesperson for Mr Dempsey, there was no further update on the Government’s ongoing efforts to resolve the impasse.
